thanks for the advice guys an gals, i am slightly wiser based on what you have said and after researching child themes but i do not know how to set one up, will it be simple to set one up without losing anything on my site?
as i said i am a newbie, essentially i am a designer delving into the world of code for the first time and it is pretty daunting, i am pretty sure i will be able to do what youve already stated above but setting up a child theme is something ive put off as it seems too difficult? its the adding a new folder thing that gets me at the mo.
how do you get there?
how do you create the folder?
??
